Hi Thomas:
OS/2 2.x and Warp could boot DOS from a floppy, but I don't think even
they could run it from a disk partition.
I used OS/2 Warp 4. Being delighted by the speech-recognition interface!
I ran OS/2 from 1.3 to Warp 4 Fixpack 12 until it crashed and destroyed most
hard drive data so

AFAICS that page is inconclusive and merely says that XP supports
FAT16, 32 and NTFS, which was never in doubt. But I checked and you're
right.

FAT has a limit of 4GB.
it's DOS that limits this unless you indicate at DosOpen that you understand

I actually had a copy of OS/2 1.33 Extended edition. If I recall
correctly,
Reminds me of my last XP machine, supposedly, XP could handle up to 4GB
of ram, but when I installed 4GB in my machine, XP only saw 3.5GB. No
idea why, I never did find out what the technical reason was, but it was
a commonly known problem, since almost everywhere I tried to get the ram

The issue is memory-mapped hardware. Any hardware that exposes configuration
resisters or data buffers on the main address bus ends up taking a block of
physical address space that could be used by RAM. If your CPU, motherboard,
